Threads in This Forum

I have seen we have various threads about computer help, what to buy? various terms, differences between MAC and PC, I made this thread for anyone that wants some of us with computer experience to answer some of those who need some advice or help trouble shooting..

There are a bunch of people who frequent this Forum who's first name I know. There are countless others that I have no idea what their first name is.
Couple that with the hundreds upon hundreds of new people who have registered that would have no idea who people are... I thought it would be a good idea for a Thread where people (who wish to divulge this information) give their first name. This is not to be a joke Thread, please be serious and only respond if you wish to give your name.

Big news - our revised Community Standards are finally online. Please access them on the footer of the page, towards the right-hand edge.....
The main point of differentiation between NYYFans and most other sports forums is the sense of community that has been fostered here, since our site was founded many years ago. In order to maintain this atmosphere, we must hold posters to certain basic expectations when participating here.....
To this end, we will be conducting a relaunch of our...

I closed down the Election 2016 thread, but have opened this one to discuss the POTUS. I must be a glutton for punishment. About 95% of the complaints I get via IM are from that one thread. A similar percentage of “reported posts” also come from that thread. However, it’s generated over 37,000 entries. Our community clearly sees value in a political discussion. So, we can let it continue.
GROUND RULES
Keep it courteous and respectful. Disagree all you want, but watch the...

And how do you use them?
Always liked the :gulp: It seems to say, just chilling, don't take offense.
Like the dancing locks. I think we called them the Lockettes when they are grouped together.

I seem to get this one a lot in response to my posts...

I haven't seen a commercial for Corazón since the Yankee season ended.
It occurred to me that I've never seen a commercial for Corazón anyplace other than during a Yankee Game. I think the average must have been 6 times per game in the first half of the season and 3 times a game in the second half of the season.
Have only Yankee Fans seen this short film?
Why target Yankee fans as they did?
Did they get a discount from YES?

I closed the Election 2016 thread, because it’s clearly old news. In its place, I opened a thread to discuss the President, and I’m opening this one to discuss Current Events that don’t necessarily center around the President. Often, the Election thread went off on tangents. I’m thinking of this as a stand-alone thread to be a home for those tangent discussions.
When the discussion gets around to politics, the same ground rules will apply as I stated in the President Trump thread:

Once upon a time, we had a thread on Education. I can't seem to find it...it was likely in the old Political Soapbox. Regardless, increasingly, we've seen discussion of education show up in the Election thread. Probably not the right venue. So, allow me to create a space to discuss our educational system.
Is what we're doing in Public Education the right route? Should we have educational standards? Is it OK to leave some children behind? What should we be doing, as a society, to...

Next Wednesday I will undergo six hours of tests and interviews to determine my viability to be placed on the kidney transplant list. To say this is one of the most important days of my life is an understatement. Not getting on it means I continue on dialysis as long as it works and then that is it as they say. My doctor believes that I will get on as all my numbers are where they should be (for someone with kidney failure). Today I found out two of the pre-tests were waived! Either way I won't...

We've spun off on a pretty significant tangent in the Trump thread. Let's move the discussion of the GOP health care plan here.
I'll go first.
ObamaCare is, in my opinion, an abject failure. It forced all Americans to purchase a commercial product, something our government has not previously done. The Supreme Court's decision to allow it was dubious, as the Court came up with its own language to interpret the word "fine" to really mean "tax" to keep the legislation within...

Good morning, Everyone. Welcome to the thread about the largest marathon on the face of God's Green Earth. Beginning on Staten Island, across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and through all the boroughs, ending in Central Park.
I just wish that Vicki were here to share her running experiences.

...and as Monty the Python said many many times:
Now for Something Completely Different...
So we have a week of Fan or no Fan posts. Now you get to rank these 6 (one was for the whole weekend) topics from most liked to least liked.
